Engines of Change: A History of the American Dream in Fifteen Cars Review
Paul Ingrassia’s "Engines of Change: A History of the American Dream in Fifteen Cars" is not just a book about automobiles; it’s a cultural history of America seen through the rearview mirror of its most iconic vehicles. Each of the fifteen cars Ingrassia explores is a window into a different era, revealing how American values, dreams, and even fears have been shaped and reflected by the vehicles that have roamed its streets. Having read the book, I found it to be a fascinating journey through the intertwining histories of cars and culture, where each vehicle isn't just a piece of machinery but a metaphor for the changing aspirations of American society.
